I believe that purpose is not something that's handed to you when you're born. I think it's something that you actually have to work for, because it's something that's extremely valuable. In other words, it's not a birth-right, it's a reward for hard work.

I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies, so that you can learn to trust no one but yourself and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. -Marilyn Monroe

Amen! Let's start with clean, running water inside our homes, heat in the winter, air in the summer, electricity, lights at night, a warm coat, food when we're hungry. All this should be enough to make us happy!
